the new fairy frosts are great, really pretty colors.
i like to shop the stores that have a good selection of a variety of fabrics, re: 30's, moda's, thimbleberries, etc. One of our local stores is 90% Thimbleberries, nice store, but not enough variety. fabric lines are really great for people who have trouble putting quilts together.

I agree with Pat and Pups - solids and fabrics that read as solid are important. I know a quilt shop owner has told me she doesn't like to carry them, but I would say at least 50% of my quilt shop purchases fall into that category, and definitely all of my larger-yardage purchases.

Lots of variety in print sizes, types, colors! Try to find something for everyone! I rarely buy solids, but often buy tonals - love fusions and marbles. One place I shop has mainly Civil War and 1930's fabric. I don't really care for either, so it's usually just the basics for me when I shop there. I have a variety in my stash, but do gravitate towards the brights.
